A Dark & Stormy Windy Wednesday Surf & Culture Report



Lost Boys & Co...

Pink sky in morning, sailor take warning, as we were on the lookout for any sailor silly enough to go out this morning (#1).  Cloudy and misty and even some lightning across the bay (#2).  Winds were onshore by 6 to 10kts and increased throughout the day, creating some outstanding chop.  The air temperature was 58.0º and the water, despite the wind, is holding at 66.0º.  High tide was at 6:30am +4.6' and low tide wasn't that low at 11:47am +2.6'.  There's an increasing west swell out of 281º, 4.3' at 7:26am and rising to a 8.2' by 8pm.  The surf was a ragged 4' to 5' this morning and the wind keeps blowing it down, despite the swell size...

We were noticing the pirate inspired doors to Brixton (#3) at the entrance to the Redondo Beach Pier.  Both Brixton and the former Beanery have been closed for some time, leading one to wonder what it would take to make a go of those two locations.  The Beanery has a sign up that says it's going to re-open as a Mexican Restaurant, which has got to be genius since El Torito is right next to it on the pier.  Duh!  Brixton is a bit more complicated, failing multiple times as musics venues, supper clubs and an event space.  Maybe it just needs the right kind of magic, or more likely, a shit-ton of money!  Should you win the lottery tonight you might want to have a place to run your money through...

We Came On Different Ships, But We're All In The Same Boat Thursday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... F ound these cool sweatshirts (#1) at Spyder on the Plaza.  They show all of the cool South Bay surf spots and wave magnets.  We managed to get these cool women to show off the threads... H eavy overcast and not quite 7 miles visibility.  Winds were onshore by 2 to 4kts and the surface was generously textured.  The air was 58.5º and the water is 58.5º.  Overcast, windy and chilly, this isn't sounding great is it?  Low tide is at 11:46am +0.6' and high tide follows late at 6:44pm +4.3'.  It's a SSW swell out of 212º at 2.3' and that's about how big it was with a few fatter outsides. F or those of you who knew Brian Sullivan his funeral will be held at St. Lawrence Church at 1pm on Saturday.  Still can't quite believe he's gone... ✠ "When the surf breaks, we'll fix it" The Professor!!

Teach A Fish To Fly Friday Surf & Culture Report

Lost Boys & Co... Wouldn't it be nice to have some surf to report about?  The simple answer is "yes."  But, and it's a big BUT, we're going to forge ahead and give you the particulars anyway.  5 miles visibility and pretty hazy conditions although it looks like the sun is trying to melt the haze.  Winds were offshore by 1 to 3kts. and the sea surface is smooth.  The air temp was 64.5º and the water is 65.8º.  High tide is at 10:14am +5.6' and low tide follows at 4:55pm +0.6' (Maybe good for a walk on the hard sand.  Don't step on a bee.  Been lots of them on the shallow sand.)  SSW swell out of 206º at 2.3' and it was half of that on the beach.  Just to whet your appetite we've included this shot of the Professor in Nicaragua at "Soupbowls", or "Chicken Soup", or "Noodles".  They were all lefts... Some of you know that the Professor has sparred with some health issues recently.  He submitted this (Attachment) t...
